George, awesome link! Okay, so just for the record, no one SENT me to go review Frisco. We aren't paid writers and no one is calling up and giving us free meals, so most of the time I just write about where I happen to end up eating. I tried to be very up front about the no meat thing and careful to comment on only what I felt I could--the service, the onion rings, the dessert, the experience. I made it known that I didn't try the dishes that they were known for and that if you wanted to go try em I wouldnt' dissuade you. It is a cool place to try, but obviously my experience was lacking.

I am not surprised that you are unfamiliar with "pu nanny". If you like Ruth Chris good for you. Please drop $40 dollars off at my house on your way downtown. Then I will send you to the Frisco for the best Filet Mignon in town......... Maybe I should write a review on Mothers. This makes as much sense..............

I have TOO been to the Frisco Shop, so don't say mean things like that. It hurts my feelings. And, I do not appreciate your reference to "gay men", nor am I familiar with the term "pu nanny". Anyway, for filet mignon, I prefer going to Ruth's Chris. The Frisco sign is still cool.

In reply to Georges comment above. You have never been to the Frisco Shop. If you have, what pussy orders a hamburger at a steak place? Anyway, I say the filet mignon is THE BEST IN TOWN. Hands down, and value priced at $18.95 This review is like sending a gay man, to review some pu nanny..

I've lived in Texas nearly all my life, and I eat meat about three times a day. I've been to the Frisco a handful of times, and it has always sucked. I wanted to enjoy it, with the history and the kitsch and all, but mainly it was just gross food with bad service. The TV Dinner comment was right on--my Frisco Burger was served still partially frozen. But the sign is cool.

I'll go further with the "blind person" metaphor and ask: Are you guys from Texas? If not, you're not the people to do this review. The Frisco is classic old-time Texas cuisine. Perhaps you should be someplace else reviewing different styles of tofu. You probably don't like Frito Pie, either. And if you thought their banana cream pie was "okay," then rest assured I won't be looking to you for restaurant reviews again.

Sigh... Sending a vegetarian to review the Frisco is like sending a blind person to review a movie. Shame on you, Austinist.

So, Sean - do you really have 4 thumbs? (not that there's anything wrong with it)...

I've eaten there, and I give this place four thumbs down. I'm not even vegetarian. Just stay at home and eat a TV dinner if you want to experience this restaurant on the cheap.

Yes, the Frisco isn't really a place for non-meateaters. If you like meat and grease, though, it's good. And the service you encountered was below par for the course. I've not had a problem with service there. Meateaters should give them a try if so inclined.

I think it goes without saying that if you take all the meat out of a club sandwich and don't put something back in its place, it's gonna be sub-optimal.
